Was that a typo Buzz?Pretty unlikely a 90 grain accubond or 95 grain ballistic tip in a 6mm would kill a wolf, but they work well on elk.

No, I have a .338 for wolves. Are the 250 grain partitions a stout enough bullet?Was that a typo Buzz?

I think we’re saying the same thing you disagreeable curmudgeon!No, I have a .338 for wolves. Are the 250 grain partitions a stout enough bullet?
Biggest grizzly bear ever killed for a while was from a .22....juuuuust saying lolYa'll just need to realize a 308 kills everything and stop with the crazy "what caliber" threads....LOL Happy Friday !
Don't laugh. #2 Grizzly in the world was killed by an indian woman in Canada with a single shot 22RF!Biggest grizzly bear ever killed for a while was from a .22....juuuuust saying lol
Yeah I think we're talking about the same woman!Don't laugh. #2 Grizzly in the world was killed by an indian woman in Canada with a single shot 22RF!
That wolf on a two day old track could have been 10 miles away. mtmuleyI went out with a friend just yesterday trying to call in a wolf. We found a two day old track but never had any response to my calling.
Oh absolutely he could have been. We were there so we tried anyway.That wolf on a two day old track could have been 10 miles away. mtmuley
Perhaps I overreacted, but the post you quoted simply gave recommendations for the kind of shots that the wolf hunters I’ve encountered in media seem to be preparing for. Some of them have even gone to trouble of explaining why they are preparing for much longer shots than they usually would. You chose to suggest that shooting at that distance was for paper punchers and not hunters. You’re the one that SEEMS to be picking a fight on this one.A little touchy friend !!!! mabe try to understand what I said......no where am I coming down on anyone !!! p.s. I also shoot a 6.5x58mm Portugeuse mauser mfg.1904.....custom formed brass from .270 and '06 . As you gain more experience in the ''shooting field'', you will find ''bullet placement '' is the key.....ballistics comes in second.... have a good one.

If you think that shooting a low BC bullet at low velocity isn’t going to reduce the probability that your shot placement is correct, compared to a high BC bullet at high velocity, then you’re the one who needs more experience in the “shootin field”. That’s substantially more important when hunting than when “paper punching”. When you’re hunting you don’t have wind flags, you’re often shooting at some degree of inclination, your range(even using a range finder) is less precisely known, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, you often only get one shot. When “paper punching” you have numerous advantages over hunting conditions, and even so, the best shooters in the world benefit from good external ballistics. The need to reduce the effects of wind drift and ranging error are even more important for the hunter(at long range, which seems more common in wolf hunting) than for the “paper puncher”.
Evening IBT,
A slight misunderstanding friend......Lets start over As wolves are very seldom more than secondary targets by deer and bear hunters on the big island, 400-450 yards is considered a long shot..........big clear-cuts /old logging roads where we hunt kinda limits shooting distances........And a wounded critter that has to be blood trailed thru heavy timber ,over streams and ''goat'' cliffs on mountain sides is no pleasure to anyone..........Not being an advocate of the 800-1000 + yard shots and not being equipped with any firearm / scopes for those shots, I simply suggest leaving such shots to target shooters..Where, a few inches off target matters not. If one IS equipped with a round like 6.5 x .284win, and have proven a rig capable of those 800-1000 yard shots ,then more power to you......
With my .300wm, .284 model88 lever gun I am certainly NOT set up for those long shots........
